Why

More than 60 years after India’s independence, wealth distribution has been very uneven, and population growth (currently over 1 Billion and rising) has far exceeded economic growth.

Who

The Indian government has recently said it has found that 100 million more Indians than previously thought are living below the poverty line. Many live in abject poverty, unable to adequately feed, clothe, or educate their children. 40% of the population are now eligible for subsidised food supplies.
